This is a really adorable project! Avery's preschool provides canvas bags for the school year and I was trying to find a fun way to personalize it. This is great. Your bags turned out beautifully too! xoxox

I just found your blog while searching for ideas for my daughter's art party! I'm so inspired!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your great ideas! I've added you to my blog roll so we can have fun all year long.

We do this- the watered down version! Never thought about that it would look cool even not watered down. Between this and your last 2 posts, I bet everyone is stocking up on glue...lol! Thanks for all your awesome ideas!

So I have some silk I want to use for scarves but don't really want do all the work of dying them that I remember from batiking in college. Would this method work? And can they be washed with regular laundry after a first laundering alone?What do you think?Thanks!

That's funny, my mom (also an artist) and I were talking about the same thing. She thinks she has some silk scarves in her stash and we wondered why we could try the gel glue with the silk dyes then launder the silk per the silk manufacturer's instructions. I would hesitate about throwing silk scarves in a regular washer dryer. I think you'd have to hand wash them and hang to dry then maybe do a low heat mini toss in the dryer to de-crunch them. If you try it let me know, I'm still trying to find a blank white scarf to experiment with!!
